Description

Hi there. Not the best sharpness, I know. But he don't like to sit and smile in the lens I think. You could see his unusual shaped eyes and the color reflections on his body. I will post one or two more shots of him where you could see his size and the full color spectrum. Jeff said on his comment I should place him on a leaf - he's right, but I was on the way with my family and they don't gave me enough time for a big shooting *g*. Maybe next year, if one of those big beetles will cross my way again... I was late with the comments and miss some posts during my vacations - sorry about that. Now I'm back and try to catch up what I miss.
